I'll try to answer that in the way it was proposed to me, Mike. It was suggested that epetitions are not taken seriously by the "objects" of the petition. I think that may or may not be. BUT (and a big BUT) MY thought is that all those people have a concern and a serious concern about this bill, and if this epetition garnered 4000 signatures, then think of all those that haven't signed (PLEASE DO!) that think the same way!
